a sin to be fed up with the brand of what's been dubbed radical liberalism it's the country's multicultural policies to turn the government against his own pulling away the far right sentiment. why did the norwegians all ready to admit and there's a polite and respectful attitude towards that kind of thing in mainstream media but the reality is that fifty percent of norwegians against multiculturalism as people here try to pick up the pieces and bring meaning to this twentieth already saying it will sell relations between communities some expect the crackdown by police on the e.u. growing far right movement while others fear this will only fuel resentment against europe's muslims victims are beginning to piece back together the shattered lawyers but say experts warn this might not be the last such attack as outrage at the

12:09 am
union are trying to do here is they're trying to stanch the blood that's flowing the money that's flowing out of the greek economy that can has been kicked down the road the danger of contagion still leaking to other countries such as ireland portugal even italy and spain are there and therefore we don't have a cure but what we've seen so far unfortunately looks like holy words and holy words do not inspire confidence in markets and that has got to be some degree of a problem for the euro in the longer term. financial woes are rife across the atlantic where the u.s. president has held emergency talks with congressional leaders barack obama cuse party members of risking and new global catastrophe after talks to avert a dead default collapsed. congress must approve a plan to allow more borrowing on top of its current fourteen trillion dollars level before august second if the decision is made by then the country could run out of money to pay its bills and may have to take measures that would threaten the

this should in dollars will be paid for by eliminating benefits for the working class b. american people the elderly people on social security didn't encourage the death veterans receiving better veterans benefits didn't increase the debt it was the result of bush's wars bush's tax cuts while spending for these programs. earlier this week media mogul rupert murdoch had appeared before and u.k. parliamentary inquiry on the phone hacking scandal but he now could face legal challenges in the u.s. over claims the voice mails of nine eleven victims were also targeted his son news international chairman james murdoch has been accused of trying to mislead british m.p.'s after saying he was unaware of the troop stand up with phone hacking by reporters prime minister david cameron thing led to calls for him to answer further questions after his evidence was challenge meanwhile britain's hacking scandal
12:12 am
appears to be spreading beyond words newspapers with claims the sunday mera tabloid also infiltrated the voice messages of celebrities but as our. courts critics believe the issue is just the tip of the iceberg and a society that no longer values the privacy of the people. as the scandal over phone hacking by the murdoch's media empire rages on public and political fury has mainly focused on ruthless tabloids out of control prepared to invade people's private lives and even the dad to get the story but some say in this day and age the whole concept of privacy is falling apart and in the us more rapidly than elsewhere every time you tap on your cell or click on google or use your mail service everybody's sort of just clicks through that you agree to our terms and conditions well those terms and conditions are very very heavily weighted against
12:13 am
you and your privacy interests and we see you breaches of privacy happening. all across america all across the world really in every sector surveillance is rampant but really this is all a microcosm of the biggest surveil or all which is the state there's little americans can do with the state having sweeping access to their private information access that followed the nine eleven terrorist attacks under a new law known as the patriot act haasan. no law his privacy was taken away from him in two thousand and two when he was detained by the f.b.i. for absolutely no reason he says and scrutinized for months without charge he's response for nine years he has voluntarily documented nearly every waking hour of his life on the web he has subsequently even turned it into a form of art see all the toilets that i've used so you know that over here for example you know that on sunday november twenty fourth of two thousand and seven i've used this toilet i went grocery shopping at safeway over there on october
12:14 am
seventeenth i got gas over here he posts copies of every debit card transaction so you can see what he bought where and when a g.p.s. device in his pocket reports his real time physical location on a map and this is the shot he took on his way to our studio which was immediately uploaded on his website hazen says his extraordinary abandonment of his own privacy stems from the ignorance of the authorities but in the fear they decided well that guy looks a little different so he must be arab and if he's arab then he must have explosives everyone knows that and that's the logic we're operating we we realize how ridiculous that logic sounds but when your country when your own country takes that on as the basis for national policy. ignorance as the basis of national policy is a pretty scary situation. and that's how i got caught up in it for ha son piracy has become a rally of the past and he says he's not surprised that journalists or anyone else
12:15 am
really would use the same surveillance tactics as the state in that sense it might be of no surprise that the chief architect of the patriot act the lawyer who put it together happens to be one of murdoch's hand-picked used for gore directors you didn't serve as assistant attorney general in the bush administration and was described by some as the purveyor of the most sweeping curtailment of freedom in the u.s. since the mccarthy era at a time when corporations and the government can easily hack into people's private lives it doesn't come as a surprise when for example social networks give your personal information to ads companies or when other industries leave breaching people buy those things in the u.s. it's so widespread and people have gotten so used to it that rupert murdoch seems to be perfect part of the system rather than some special bill and with corporation has been undertaking some unique all lawful practices because here in america
12:16 am
they're not so unique i'm going to check our reporting from washington r.t. . james combat the editor of the impact of news a website says the public's trust has been seriously undermined by the phone hacking scandal. to find out that certain officers had been on the payroll of these organizations and providing details today to the journalists who are involved in a scandal that in itself is quite a disgrace and it does raise the question of who is properly qualified to to look into this into to form a proper investigation certainly not the police itself investigating itself that would be ridiculous at this point and the idea again of a parliamentary inquiry it has to be at least seem to be completely free of ties to the prime minister's office certainly and into any other n.p.c. may have been implicated in the scandal so it's going to be an incredible mess unfortunately for the british people to be sorting through right now and i think trust in the public institutions has been necessarily eroded by this appalling
12:17 am

12:21 am
assassination of karzai as brother and his inner circle shows that the edifice of the karzai regime necessary at least to get afghan face to the nato occupation that itself is now crumbling and these armed attacks these assassination attempts are designed to create panic and i think in all likelihood they are creating panic within the very heart the foundation of the karzai government the u.s. is losing grown steadily its spending one hundred twenty billion dollars a year that's an increasing amount from the treasury that's already drained based on huge budget deficits here the number of casualties on the afghan and american side is is increasing not decreasing and yet they're no closer to victory in fact they're losing control of the country and the government that they sponsor is is in fact in danger of crumbly i would say the u.s. hasn't gained anything i think the u.s. is losing ground it's spite of what david petraeus and the obama administration say this is a bad situation possibly
12:22 am
a catastrophe for the united states. analysts also say the violence in afghanistan is being presented by local security forces which contain drug addicts and those connected to the taliban despite this nato has begun handing control over parts of the country to the locals but there is concern afghans are too divided untrained and ill equipped to fend off the insurgency by themselves jason reports from kabul . there's confusion on the faces of the afghan army soldiers as a firefight unfolds on the other side of the wall lucky for them this is the kabul military training center in the bullets being fired blanks the men here halfway through a ten week program and the officers don't cut the many slack when it's over the be deployed eastern province one of afghanistan's most violent corners mob but we must push them hard so they can perform under pressure day by day we're making progress the afghan national army has already come a long way its ranks have swollen to about one hundred seventy thousand troops

thanks to fresh waves of recruits attracted by higher wages and extra perks the soldiers insist they are all united in their desire to beat back the taliban led insurgency regardless of age or ethnicity then any are what we are old brothers and we are all called by one name ah by the call of duty has also struck a chord beyond able bodied males a first ever class of woman soldiers has just graduated. and there's even a mujahedeen unit made up of hardened veterans of the anti soviet jihad this is all good news to u.s. military planners who have set a two thousand and fourteen going to hand over security responsibilities to the afghans the afghan army enjoys a much better reputation in the police force and has even been featured in the recent movie. but is the army takes greater responsibility for security around the country there are concerns that the quantity of troops may be coming at the expense of quality for starters more than eighty percent of troops are illiterate a big problem with an ability to read maps and numbers can spell the difference
12:24 am
between life and death adding to the woes are widespread drug use in desertions today roughly one in four combat soldiers quit their post critics also point out that the military leadership is made up of many rival ex warlords who still command loyalties along regional and ethnic lines and could drive the country deeper into conflict as the u.s. begins to scale back its role as custodian this summer there are concerns that these divisions may flare up if i was not neutral. it would be you know ninety's you would be fighting each other be killing each other these people by the name of joe hockey groups or other groups who control their kids yet another obstacle for a young army that still has much to afford can still feel jason whitlock called for tom. and coming up as our interview with a second man to set foot on the moon that's right after a recap our top stories in a few moments.
